A retro arcade has opened up near my home. $10 per hour, all games free. Lots of the old classics. We also had a pinball museum with over 1,000 machines, but COVID took it down.

If we're talking Prop Cycle then I'm taking this to be a general arcade thread. I had some time to kill in town last week so I spent an hour at the arcade. There were a few pinball machines there. New ones, there was a Godzilla table, a 007 table and a Mandalorean table. I can confirm that I'm still rubbish at pinball. I also played what I thought was a racing game but ended up being a story based anime road trip game where you just go on a Sunday drive down a Tokyo motorway while some high school characters discussed things at you? I can't remember what it was called. You could upgrade your car between chapters but the machine was too small for adult sized me so I didn't play past chapter 1 (it was pay per chapter and there were like 6 stories you could choose from). Will probably pop back in tomorrow evening to get the name of the machine.

There was also a Taiko no Tatsujin machine there which I hadn't played before. That game owns, especially since I'm an unfit slob who would immediately break every bone in his body before dying of cardiac arrest on a DDR machine these days.

I wish i could find something like that or sound voltex nearby.

Well, this thread is making me look up half-remember games from 30 years ago. Specifically TIME TRAVELLER (1991)-A holographic game I never played, because it cost a fortune compared to everything else in the arcade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9958AbBMG9w There was also another game using this tech, but for some reason it had drawn sprites and was just a sub-SFII fighting game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC6yP425HEM According to Wikipedia quote:It was one of Sega's earliest attempts at creating a competitive fighting game along with Dark Edge, after the success of Capcom's Street Fighter II.

There's an upcoming auction of pinball machines and videogame cabinets, if anyone is interested... It's in southern California, if that might matter... https://bid.captainsauctionwarehouse.com/auctions/catalog/id/124

I used to be very good at Frontline. What?! You have to turn a dial and push it down repeatedly at the same time?! That single control motherfucker was a beast! I liked Sinistar too. RUN COWARD!!!

Tempest used to be my jam. During lunch time we had just enough time to go to the arcade, play a few games and then book it back to school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMto2HJJSSA
